"I'm scared, 'Soka." Obi-Wan says, his voice trembling as Ahsoka carries him.

"It's okay, Obi. We're almost to the ships." Ahsoka says, comforting him.

"Don't lie to little Obi, Jedi." A man in Jedi robes growls. Obi-Wan whimpers and Ahsoka hides his face in the crook of her neck.

"Go, Ahsoka! I'll meet up with you!" Anakin shouts as he gets in front of the two. Ahsoka nods and runs off into the hangar with a terrified Obi-Wan.

"Why do you want Obi-Wan?" Anakin snarls.

"Oh, we don't want him. Sidious wants him." The man says smirking, he takes out his blaster and aims it at Anakin but suddenly drops dead. The other guy behind him drops his hood, revealing him to be Quinlan Vos with a smoking blaster.

"Vos?" Anakin asks, surprised. "What are you doing?"

"Calm down, Skywalker. I'm just undercover right now. You're lucky I was one of the spies sent out." Quinlan states. "So, Obi-Wan really was de-aged, huh."

"Yup, pretty crazy." Anakin says and deactivates his saber.

"I have to go now, still have to keep my cover, but you can't tell anyone I was here." Quinlan says and Anakin nods. Quinlan rushes off into the shadows. Anakin makes his way to the hangar where Ahsoka is waiting for him.

"Is everything all right?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, they won't be following us. We need to take off now." Anakin says as he walks into a ship. "Ahsoka and Obi-Wan, buckle up, we're leaving now." Anakin says and they take off.

"General, we were unable to take Kenobi, he had Skywalker with him. My partner is dead, I was barely able to escape." Quinlan says.

"Return to the ship, Xan. I am sending a different team, Maul and Savage." Grievous says and hangs up.

"Force!" Quinlan mutters and quickly rushes off to warn the Council.

"How is Obi-Wan back there?" Anakin asks Ahsoka as he pilots the ship.

"He fell asleep. Are we almost there?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, we're landing right about now." Anakin says as he lands the ship.

They exit the ship and Padme comes out to meet them, the Chancellor following behind. Ahsoka and Anakin look at each other.

"Anakin, Ahsoka, so nice to see you again." Padme says.

"Yes, thank you, Padme, for allowing us to stay." Anakin politely says.

"Might I ask why you seek refuge on Naboo? Has something happened?" Palpatine asks.

"I'm afraid that is disclosed information, Chancellor." Ahsoka says

"Surely I am to be informed, I am the Chancellor after all." Palpatine argues.

"Yes, you are the Chancellor of the Republic, not the Jedi." Ahsoka defends.

"Well, let me show you to your rooms." Padme says, defusing the argument.

"Will you come to talk to me later, Anakin?" Palpatine asks.

"I'm afraid that will have to happen at another time, Chancellor, I'm a bit busy now." Anakin says.

"Of course." Palpatine politely says but he looks furious, he quickly walks away from the four people.

"That was something." Padme says as she leads them inside the palace. "So, he really is Obi-Wan?"

"Yup. He's pretty nice." Ahsoka says.

"How old is he? Does he remember anything?" Padme asks.

"He's seven and he doesn't remember anything." Ahsoka confirms.

"He looks so tiny." Padme says smiling. "Who has he bonded with so far?"

"He seems pretty close with Master Plo, and he really seems to like me!" Ahsoka says, beaming.

"What about you, Ani?" Padme asks.

"Um, well, I sort of scared him quite a bit." Anakin says.

"No, you terrified him. He was talking about how we should be interrogating him, or maybe he's a droid or a clone. He literally picked him up and pinched him and said he's definitely a clone. You should have seen Master Plo, he rushed to Obi-Wan's side and snatched him from Skyguy." Ahsoka says.

"Anakin! He's a child!" Padme protests.

"Yeah, I know that now!" Anakin says.

"Senator Amidala." A tall blonde woman says as she walks closer to them.

"Duchess! How is the Palace so far?" Padme kindly asks.

"It is very pleasant." Satine says smiling. "And who is this?" Satine asks, pointing to Obi-Wan.

"This is Obi-wan." Ahsoka says.

"Obi-Wan as in Obi-Wan Kenobi?" Satine asks, shocked.

"Yup, the one and only." Ahsoka says, Obi-Wan slowly wakes up and lifts his head from Ahsoka's shoulder.

"Where are we?" Obi-Wan asks as he rubs his eyes.

"We are on Naboo, with Padme." Ahsoka says.

"Padme!" Obi-Wan exclaims, his eyes then widen in fear. "Are the bad guys gone?"

"Yes, don't worry, Obi. Anakin took care of them." Ahsoka comforts. Padme and Satine look at Anakin confused.

"I'll tell you later." Anakin whispers.

"Is this where you live, Padme?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Yes, this is my palace." Padme explains.

"You live in a castle! Cool!" Obi-Wan says as Padme laughs.

"It is very cool. Satine will be staying for a while also, Obi-Wan this is Satine, Satine this is Obi-Wan." Padme says.

"Hello, Satine. A pleasure to meet you!" Obi-Wan excitedly says.

"Nice to meet you as well, Obi-Wan." Satine says.

"How about you and Obi-Wan wash up, Ahsoka?" Anakin asks, wanting to talk alone with Satine and Padme.

"Okay, Skyguy." Ahsoka says and rushes off with Obi-Wan.

"What happened at the Temple?" Satine asks curiously.

"We need to talk somewhere more private." Anakin says and they walk to a private room.

"The Separatists sent spies to abduct Obi-Wan." Anakin explains and the two women gasps.

"Why?" Padme asks.

"He found out something dangerous. When he was talking to you, Padme, he sensed the Chancellor in the Force, it turns out Palpatine is a Force user, he's a dark Force user." Anakin explains. "Dooku said Darth Sidious was controlling the Senate, so this would make sense."

"Then why won't you arrest him?" Satine questions.

"We don't have evidence. We can't try him based on the word of a seven-year-old." Anakin states.

"So, you think he sent spies there to kidnap Obi-Wan because he knows too much?" Padme asks.

"Exactly, which is why we have to protect him, and Palpatine being here ruins everything now." Anakin states.

"He's leaving tomorrow, he was only on retreat." Padme states. "The Separatists wouldn't dare attack here, it's too heavily guarded."

"And so was the Temple." Anakin states.

"MASTER!" Ahsoka screams. Anakin, Padme, and Satine quickly rush out of the room and see Ahsoka with tears leaking down her eyes.

"He's gone! I left him in the living quarters so I could wash up and then I heard him screaming my name and I tried to open the door, but they blocked it. I forced pushed it open and they were gone! Obi-Wan's gone!" Ahsoka says, crying.

"They're probably still on the planet, did you see what they looked like?" Anakin asks.

"No, I didn't even see what happened!" Ahsoka states.

"They'll be leaving in a ship, come on." Padme says and they quickly run outside.

"NO!" Anakin shouts as he sees a ship to take off.

"Oh yes, Skywalker. Did you really think I was dead!" A red Zabrak says from the open door of the ship, he has Obi-Wan slumped over his shoulder, as a black Zabrak in the pilot's seat tells them they're about to take off now. Maul and Obi-Wan are quickly out of sight as the ship takes off.

"Who was that?" Satine asks, tear springing in her eyes.

"Maul, Obi-Wan's worst enemy. And that was his brother, Savage." Anakin says, his face written with anger and sorrow.

"We have to tell the Council and start to try and find Obi-Wan." Ahsoka says, as she regains her composure. "I'm sorry, Anakin."

"It's not your fault, Ahsoka, you didn't know." Anakin says.

"If the Chancellor is the Sith, won't they take him to Palpatine?" Satine questions.

"You're right, they could be heading for Coruscant." Anakin says as a ship above him takes off.

"That was the Chancellor's ship." Padme states.

"Then I guess we know where we're going." Anakin states as they rush on top of his ship.

Quinlan rushes into the Council's Chamber and finds everybody already seated.

"Grievous is sending Maul and Savage to capture Obi-Wan." Quinlan states. "We need to send more Jedi to protect him."

"Too late, it is. Taken, Obi-Wan has been. Maul's doing, it was." Yoda gravely states, Quinlan then notices that all the Council members look distressed, one of them being Plo who is currently curling up his fist.

"Know where they are going though, we do. To Coruscant, they are heading. Delivering Obi-Wan to the Sith Lord, they are." Yoda says.

"All the Council Jedi and many more Jedi will be storming the Senate building tomorrow." Plo says, his voice firm.

"We have obtained Kenobi, my Lord." Maul reports.

"Well done, Maul, well done." Sidious hackles.

"We will arrive at your office tomorrow." Maul says.

"Good, I will await your arrival." Sidious says and hangs up. He hackles and lightning shoots everywhere like the storm outside, and like the storm brewing in the Temple.
